Drop
Zone central Everett is a prototype store design for a growing chain of shipping
and mailbox stores. The tenant improvement design concept started with the idea of an aerial
supply drop, with a target motif in the 24 hour mailbox lobby. In the
main space the aeronautical theme is represented by the use of stainless
steel facing on the cabinets, and stainless steel inserts in the display
slatwall. The color scheme builds on Drop Zone’s corporate color
scheme, providing a more appealing look than a larger competitor’s
brown theme.

Major
Considerations: The store design needed to be very affordable, while at the
same time being eye-catching. The solution uses color and inexpensive
materials to achieve this. Part of Drop Zone’s business is handling
people’s eBay auctions for them. The front display windows provide
a place to display merchandise which is for sale on E-Bay. To provide
security for the merchandise in the 24 hour area and allow natural light
in, the eBay merchandise is protected inside metal cages which complement
the industrial/aeronautical theme.
